Your gross salary is adjusted prior to withholding tax, reducing your fortnightly tax obligation and giving you more cash in hand, which is credited directly into your nominated account. At the end of the financial year you cannot claim the adjustment as this form of salary reduction is from your pre-tax salary and not your nett salary. The monetary advantages to you usually come close to offsetting the initial consideration to Resource Ed for all of the services provided.

Generally you can be called the day or night before, or on the morning of the placement depending on the circumstances. If that does not suit, you can ring your Area Manager and ask for specific arrangements to be considered. Schools lodging late requests will allow for delayed commencement of duties.

Most opportunities occur increasingly from March through to December, with primary school needs sustaining consistently until last day of the school year. In most cases, teachers can expect to be initially placed on a minimum of 3 occasions to likely well-suited settings and roles. How much work will be subsequently offered to each teacher very much depends on their “returnability” to certain schools, a subjective estimate of capacity to make and leave a strong impression of suitability.

Schools most often request the availability of preferred relief teachers which have been determined from prior knowledge of likelihood to meet their expectations. Relief teachers attend our induction seminar to receive extensive advice about how to earn “preferred” status, and liaise closely with their Area Manager. Download our Performance Management Report (from the Downloads Page) for more specific information.

All teachers do yard duty, including relief teachers. Local school arrangements, needs and changing circumstances can impact on the schedule of requirements. The need to confirm the schedule of teaching and negotiate the supervision contributions for the day is the principle administrative reason for the visiting teacher to arrive as early as possible. The earlier all obligations are defined, the sooner the teacher can begin preparing for the day’s teaching.

Yes. If you request a known and preferred teacher, your Area Manager will make every effort to ensure you get that teacher. Conversely, if you don’t wish to have a particular teacher, you can also ask your Area Manager not to have that teacher. We will be interested in your advice regarding unsuitability.

To ensure we have a consistent and friendly service to all our clients, we provide an Area Manager to service only a limited number of schools in you local government region. All our Area Managers have either been teachers, have extensive HR skills or have run their CRT agency, thereby giving your school a fast, friendly and efficient service.

You can either confirm each placement online 24/7 using webAllocations or fax your confirmed Time Sheet in time for Pay Calculation each fortnight. If our services are not used that fortnight, there is no charge at all.

Resource Ed specialist relief teachers are required to ensure that they know, understand and commit to school expectations for each day’s allocation. We ask that you provide feedback to each teacher and your Area Manager regarding how well each allocated teacher has met your expectations. Your Area Manager will advise whether Head Office needs to be advised.
